The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday, 19 June approached the Delhi Assembly Speaker, seeking disqualification of its two rebel MLAs, Anil Bajpai and Devinder Sehrawat, who joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, party spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
The two MLAs, Bajpai and Sehrawat had been openly critical of AAP and had joined the BJP on 3 May and 6 May respectively.
Bharadwaj confirmed that a petition has been moved against the rebel MLAs, seeking their disqualification from the assembly.
The AAP's action comes months ahead of the Assembly polls in Delhi.
While Sehrawat said that he had received a notice from the speaker, Bajpai said that there is no merit in AAP's petition as the case of office of profit against him is still subjudice.
